I went with the ASUS Strix ROG Z370H version since it was a bit cheaper. I did not need some of the extra bells and whistles (like WIFI etc.) that are the difference on the more expensive versions since the sim essentially runs on a closed wired network. The simpler the better!

These are nice boards. Very easy to auto-overclock.

Be sure to update the BIOS. The resident BIOS on the boards I received were several versions old. Apparently there have been a lot of updates happening.

Heads up, I updated my BIOS straight away and the REaltek Audio chip had issues. i installed the software off the disk that it came with and still it wouldn't work. I then downloaded the latest Audio drivers off the ASUS site, to no avail.

A liitle googling revealed that a few ASUS boards are suffering Audio problems with their Realtek drivers and suggested getting them from the Realtek site.

I did that, and Bob's your Uncle, all fixed. I then wrote a lengthy email to Asus, giving them a swift kick in the nads for selling a 500 dollar board with a 1 dollar driver on it. They replied, thanking me very much for the kick in the nads.......
